Incandescent has two meanings, one being an intense glow, which can generate colors and secondly being full of high emotion and passion. Beethoven described the guitar as “an orchestra at your fingertips” because of the many different colors that can be achieved when playing it. This release displays the guitar’s abundant colors and nuances, and will be sure to delight listeners with its enchanting mix of well-known guitar works and new compositions. The highly acclaimed British-born classical guitarist Alison Smith has been described as “one of the most exciting and lyrical guitarists to emerge in recent years.” She delights audiences with her fluid technique and expressive playing, performing nationwide and in Europe. “…enthralling…demonstrated sheer virtuosity…superb technique and sensitivity.” (The International Guitar festival of Great Britain)
